Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, computation, and biology to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets.
Position
We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented individual to join our Medical Writing team. In the Senior Medical Writer role, you will be responsible for independently leading document development by authoring and editing of medical and regulatory writing deliverables that support the Eikon clinical portfolio. You will partner with cross functional colleagues within study teams/project teams to prepare high-quality, accurate and fit for use clinical and regulatory documents enabling delivery of Eikon portfolio milestones.
This role will require a minimum of 3 days a week of onsite presence (or more as business needs require) in either of our Jersey City (NJ) or Millbrae (CA) offices to ensure effective management, operational excellence and high-performance delivery of clinical studies and to support the expected significant team growth & collaboration.
About You
You are an experienced, independent, scientifically minded individual with a passion for accurate and concise medical and regulatory writing.
What You’ll Do
- Independently write clinical and regulatory documents, including (but not limited to): clinical protocols, clinical study reports (CSRs), investigator brochures (IBs), common technical document (CTD) modules (Module 2.7.Xs, 2.5, and Module 5 integrated summaries), briefing documents, posters, abstracts, manuscripts and other documents per company and regulatory guidelines.
- Interpret data and apply knowledge of regulatory/compliance/scientific requirements to document preparation.
- Independently manage and maintain document lifecycle, including timelines, workflow of writing assignments, review cycle management, and document quality management where appropriate.
- Help to iteratively improve medical writing processes as appropriate.
- Contribute to document quality control (QC) as needed and help ensure consistency across documents to ensure adherence to company style and regulatory agency expectations.
- Take ownership of a given assignment, proactively consulting other cross-functional project team members to align and build consensus on timelines, document interdependencies, organize and drive kick off meetings, comment resolution meetings, and ad-hoc meetings to mitigate risks and resolve project related issues.
- Interpret and understand scientific and clinical data, provide input on data, figures, tables, and listings for clear data presentation per the document scope.
Qualifications
- Doctoral-level degree in Life Sciences (e.g., Ph.D., M.D., PharmD; preferred), or Master’s degree with 3+ years of relevant experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of relevant experience in regulatory, scientific, or medical writing.
- Substantial clinical study protocol writing experience desired.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and project management skills.
- Ability to independently prepare clinical and regulatory documents (e.g., protocol, CSR, IB, CTD modules) in compliance with company SOPs and international health agencies/regulatory guidelines with a focus objective data presentation in a clear, concise format in keeping with industry guidelines.
- Working knowledge of statistical concepts and techniques.
- Proven track record of meeting project timelines/deliverables and attention to detail, process, deadlines, and high-quality results.
- Strong understanding of federal regulations, GCPs, and ICH guidelines is a plus.
- Understanding of clinical development, including study phases, submission processes, and techniques used within a clinical development environment from protocol design through regulatory submission and support for marketed products.
- Technical expertise in typical office applications (e.g., Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat) shared document systems (e.g., SharePoint, Veeva RIM, PleaseReview), and with specialized software (e.g., GraphPad Prism, PerfectIt, SmartSheet, Endnote).
- Familiarity with concepts of structured content management preferred.

What We Do
Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the interface of biology, engineering and chemistry to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells.
By directly measuring the effects of chemical compounds on the behavior of protein molecules in a live cellular environment, Eikon’s landmark assays facilitate the highly sensitive identification of compound-protein interactions that could not be identified through traditional assays, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets. Furthermore, the ability to directly visualize protein mechanisms in disease coupled with the extraordinarily high-powered high-content data sets generated by Eikon’s drug-screening technology enable an unprecedented opportunity to quantitatively explore novel biology in the living cell. These insights facilitate creation and application of data-driven hypotheses to the discovery of life-saving therapies.
Eikon is seeking adventurous, passionate and creative team members eager to apply their talents to empower interdisciplinary scientific exploration, inaugurate a radical drug-discovery paradigm, and ultimately create novel medicines.
